Not another bond will be issued by
the admintstration, until the repub
lican Congress has an opportunity to
extricate the- Treasury from the em
barrassment into which it was forced
by the republican legislation. This
can be accepted as absolutely authen-

been for the last few days. It may
not be true that the republicans are
toying to force another bond issue
before Congress meets, but it is true
that they would be glad to see one
a big one , as it would at the same
time relieve them of the responsi
bility of providing for the needs of
the Treasury, and furnish them with
a new peg upon which to hang fresh
abuse of the administration. It is
not a subject for smiles, but it would
not be strange if President Cleveland
indulges in a few grim smiles as he
pens that portion of his message to
Congress, calling attention to the
needs of the Treasury. If such lan
guage was permissible in so dignified
a document as a President's message,
he might be imagined as writing:
"Your party put the 1 reasury in a
hole; now the country expects you to
at least lend a helping hand towards
pulling it out."
It is not a pleasant thing for a dem
ocrat to write nor for democrats to
read, but as nothing is ever gained by
dodging the truth it must be said that
the spirit of concession, which it was
expected would exist among promi
nent members of the party at the be
gining of Congress, is as yet conspic
uous by its absence. "Ephraim is
wedded to his idols," and, unless the
rank and file of the party shall take
the bit between their teeth and get
together regardless of leaders, there
is little prospect of a united democra
cy in the next Presidential campaign
and nothing but a united democracy
can even have a fighting chance to
win. Perhaps some of those who are
trying to make harmony impossible,
will on sober second thought change
their tactics.
Mr. Frederick C. Waite, of the Ag
ricultural department, read a paper
before a meeting of the National Sta
tistical Association, held in Washing
ton this week, which contained some
startling figures in the rapid growth
of the stay-at-home vote in this coun
try. According to those figures, the
stay-at-home in the State of Pennsyl
vania, at the Presidential election of
1888, was only 70,000, while this year
it was 610,000; in New York it was
75,000 in 'S8, 185,000 in '92, 425,000
in. '94, and 510,000 this year; in
Kentucky it was 55,000 in '88, and
. 100,000 this year; in Mas.-ehussetts it
was 80,000 in 'SS, 100,000 in '02,
and 180,000 this year, and in Ohio it
was 40,000 111 i8, 115,000 in 93
and 180,000 this year.

PHILADELPHIA
of a lecture on "The industrial devel
opment of the New South," at Colum
bian University: "We will have to be
content to keep the negro with us,
and we should try to have the best ne
gro possible. This can only be ac
complished by education. The whole
negro question must be considered on
the industrial line. When educated,
the negroes will be inclined to enter
into industries."
Secretary Morton has written the
following letter which explains itself:
"I hasten to respond to your letter of
inquiry inclosing newspaper clipping
relative to the abuse of the franking
privilege. No one who knows the
Hon. Tom. L. Johnson will for a mo
ment believe him capable premediated
misuse of the franking privilege. He
is a gentleman of the highest personal
integrity, and his public career pre
cludes the possibility of his knowingly
doing a wrong thing with public doc
uments or franks. How the book
seller secured the frank of Mr. John
son, I am unable to state, but I am
confident that Mr. Johnson himself
never authorized any one except his
private secretary or clerk to use the
said frank. It is true that the book
with the frank was bought by an em
ployee of this department at a second
hand book store in this city, but the
purchase was made for the particular
purpose of showing that the promis
cuous and gratuitous distribution of
books at the public expense is a fraud
upon the Treasury, upon the depart
ment which prints the documents and
upon the Post Office Department
which carries them. The particular
person whose frank was placed upon
the paid-for public document was a
matter of no consequence or signifi
cance, except as an illustration of
how the franking privilege may be
abused if those who have them are
permitted to grant powers of attorney
for their use."
It seems as though every republiaan
member of the House who arrives,
brings a different opinion as to what
the republicans ought to do at the
session of Congress about to open.
All of which shows that the term
"wild horses," which Mr. Harrisson
used to describe the democratic
House of the last Congress, is en
tirely too mild for the menagerie
which Mr. Reed is expected to con
trol with one hand, while he uses the
other to push his Presidential boom.

"UNCLE REMUS -AND BRIER
RABBIT."
" Uncle Remus," in Joel Chandler
Harris' charming book of negro folk
lore, tells the children of how " Brier
Rabbit," being hard pressed by hun
gry " Brier Fox," escaped by climbing
a tree. One of the children objected,
exclaiming "Why! Uncle Remus, a
rabbit can't climb a tree," to which
"Uncle Remus" replied, Shuh
honey, dat rabbit was so hard pressed
he des 'bleeged to climb a tree !"
Alike " Brier Fox," the Seaboard
Air Line, with its handsome and
speedy "Atlanta Special" vestibul
ed limited train, operated solid be
tween Washington and Atlanta, is
pressing its competitors so hard that
one of them, at least, is attempting
to " climb a tree " and announces to
the public that it is " the only line
entering the Exposition grounds,"
while the fact is that all of its through
passengers are landed in the Union
Station the station used jointly with
the Seaboard Air Line and other lines
entering Atlanta, and must transfer
to the street cais or to another train
for the Exposition grounds, paying
the regular fares to and from the
grounds, just as do passengers reach

Millions lor Soldiers' Orphans.
The Cost ol Conducting School tor Thcie
Children Over $10,000,000.
The annual report of the soldiets'
orphan school commission for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1895, has
just been issufd. The total number
of children in the schools under trie
control of the commission at the date
of the report was 85 a, as against 714
a year ago. There were eighty-nine
discharges during the year and four
deaths. There have been received
under thi act of 1893 1,018 applica
tions for admission, of which thirty
nine were rejected, and orders issued
for the admission of 693. Thirty of
these were subsequently cancelled
and 665 admissions made.
There are still on file in the office
of the commission 284 of such ap
plications, which the commission has
been unable to finally act upon be
cause of the lack of room in the
school. As fast as vacancies may
occur these will be taken up and
cared for. The rate per capita for
education and maintenance during
the year has been $127.80 and there
was returned to the state $5,777.26.
The aggregate number of admissions
at these schools since the commence
ment has been 15,499, out of a total
number of applications of 16,504,
and with a total expense of $10,218,
994.12. The schools still under the care of
the commission are, Chester Springs,
in which there were on June 1, 236
scholars ; Harford, in which there will
be 141 1 Uniontown, with 234, and
the Industrial school at Scotland,
five miles north of Chambersburg,
the population of which is 240.
We all know that any tired muscle
can be restored by rest. Your stom
ach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its
manner of saying "I am tired. Give
me rest." To rest the stomach you
must do its work outside of the body.
This is the shaker method of curing
indigestion, and its success is best at
tested by the fact that these people
are practically free from what is with
out doubt the most prevalent of all
diseases. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains digested
food which is promptly absorbed with
out taxing the tired digestive organs,
but it is likewise an aid to the diges
tion of other foods ' in the stomach.
A 10 cent trial bottle will convince
you of its merit, and these you can
obtain through all druggists.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place

A Flan For Williamsport.
A Proposltinn to Build Guard Banks Thirty
Three Feet High.
The plan of John A. Fulton, of
Johnstown, for preventing the destruc
tive overflows of the Susquehanna at
Williamsport is endorsed by the State
Board of Health, which will call the
next sanitary convention at William
sport to arouse interest in the project.
The plan proposed is the raising of
the banks of the river to the high
water mark, thirty-three feet, by
changing the railroad tracks and re
moving obstructions in the bed of the
stream. Bridges would . have to be
raised and new embankments made.
The estimated cost, exclusive of the
expense of the railroad changes, is
550,000. The Board is particularly
interested in protecting the wa'.er
supplies of the State, and legislation
will be urged at the next session of
the Legislature.

Secretary of Agriculture Edge says
one of the chief difficulties he finds in
holding a farmers' institute for the
first time in a locality is the prevalent
belief that it is a scheme out of which
somebody wants to make money.
"The farmers invariably imagine
somebody has something to sell,"
said Mr. Edge yesterday, '-and the
result is that they don't take to the
institute at first. They imagine it is
a money making scheme." Secretary
Edge tells a story illustrating this
fact. He and Mr. Gabriel Hiester,
who resides near this city, attended
an institute in one of the northeastern
counties. It was Mr. Edge s intention
to talk about fertilizers and he carried
a circular descriptive of that article.
Mr. Hiester was to discuss pruning,
and that he might give a practical
demonstration of his suggestions he
took with him a large branch of a
tree. As the two passed up the
aisle, the assembled horny handed
sons of the soil eyed them susp icious-
ly, and their suspicions settled into a
certainty when they saw Mr. Edge's cir
cu t and Mr. Hiester's branch. "Dane
it," said one disguested farmer to his
neighbor in a whisper loud enough to
be heard a square. " Dang it, I told
you they want ter make money. That
